What is Porthole?

Porthole is a GTK-based front-end for Portage icon Portage (the Gentoo icon Gentoo package management system). It features a hierarchical view of packages and supports fast searches and dependency calculations. Porthole works mainly by running "emerge" commands in its own terminal window, and supports most emerge operations.

Porthole is released under the GPL.

Porthole is partially based on an earlier program called gportage, which has been discontinued in favour of Porthole. Although Porthole is intended for use with a GTK+ (Gnome,Xfce) desktop environment, it has also been known to work fine under KDE. Apart from GTK+, the only GNOME-related dependency is libglade. However, if you are looking for a more KDE-specific portage front-end, you might want to try Kuroo.
